Moved the folder, lost Photos

A Mac Pro small SSD for the remote files, Applications, and user/home file system running on the other drive.

Updated to 1 TB SSD, cloned previous DSS again.  Home folder again copied file of users and implement as current in advanced under users and groups.  Only problem so far is that my Photos app is unable to locate the previous photo library.  Help!

Have you held down the option key key launching Photos and use the select Library window to select the new location of the photo library?

  • Where is the folder 'My Photo Stream' located locally on a Mac?

    Hi all

    I try to access the folder 'My Photo Stream' on an MBA with El Capitan 10.11.3 with the Finder, but can't seem to find anywhere. To be clear, I'm not trying to find my iCloud photo file, unless they are the same thing. My guess is that since the app of my photo stream is an iCloud service, the folder is not actually on my Mac anywhere but straight up into the cloud, somewhere I looked and looked, but the closest location I've seen suggested was " ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub ." which was a few versions of OS X there are and no more seems to exist. Any help is very appreciated.

    Thank you

    They are inside your photo library (or iPhoto Library if you use that).

    However, you will not find a folder that contains them. The screen you see with albums and moments, etc. is all made up using a database to link photos that belong to the given location.

  • If I copy and paste an image file (jpeg, for example) in the folder of photos on my Mac, is it automatically imported in the Photos app?

    If I copy & paste an image file (jpeg, for example) that I downloaded from the internet to the folder of photos on my Mac, is it automatically imported in the Photos app? Note that the picture on my Mac folder is the folder that contains the file "Library.photoslibrary Photos".

    N ° you must actively import photos with the file-> import... command.

    Given that you can delete the file as soon as it is imported - if you have the copy in the library checked preferences - I use a folder called 'imports' on my desk to separate files that I'm importing. Once they are imported files into the import folder can trash.

  • How can I keep XP pro to create a 'My music' folder by default in C; \MyDocuments after I moved the folder on a 2nd HARD drive?

    I installed a 2nd HDD in my PC and moved the folder my music on the new drive. Now, XP Pro creates a my music folder on default in C:\MyDocuments once again on the C:\ drive and stores music files here by default. I don't want a folder my music on the C:\ drive, that's why I installed a 2nd HDD to keep my separate music. Is it possible to 'say' XP Pro does not create the default folder?

    Hello Toddy - USA,

    Unfortunately, this is normal and default Windows creates a Documents folder even if you delete it. However, if you have saved the music to another folder, you can set Media Player to use a default folder to access music files.

    a. Open Media Player, press the Alt key to bring up the file menu.

    b. click on file, manage libraries, and music.

    Here you can add and remove sites and also to select the default location.

  • photos went to the Gallery of photos, but not in the folder of photos, why?

    When I downloaded my photos from my camera SD card in my computer photos went just to the photo gallery, not to the folder of photos.  This is why when I try to send pictures via my gmail account I gives me only the choice of the photos in the pictures folder.  How can I get these photos in the photo gallery images folder?  I'm using vista Home premium and I've never had this problem before.

    Thank you, for some reason any, he went to my folder of Tasmania.  Now, I found the photos how to make them out of this file and in another file?

    =======================================================
    Select (highlight) all the photos you want to move.

    Right-click on the selected group and from the menu, choose copy.

    Navigate to the folder you want the files saved in and right click / Paste.

    You can delete them from the previous location.

    Moved the folder "Pictures" of Mac and catalog image files shows no images. Cannot navigate to the appropriate folder in 'Files' Panel and cannot rename the folder "Images". How can I reconnect catalog image files?

    You opened an empty catalog.

    You can try the following two steps to open the appropriate catalog file.

    1. Use the file-> open recent, open the list of all catalogs
    2. If this does not work, you will need to find the appropriate help for your operating system catalog file and double-click it to open it.

  • Move the folder of Photos on an external drive

    Hello my MacBook Air is near capacity. I'm going through iTunes and Photos on an external drive to free up disk space on the internal drive. I searched the threads and found the right solution for iTunes. I moved the entire iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, in the Advanced tab of iTunes preferences, I made the file to the new location on the external hard drive. That worked very well.

    Now, I'm ready to try the same process with my library of Photos (which also includes years of photos iPhoto migrated). Can I move the folder full of images (as I did with iTunes) or simply pictures library on external drive? My suspicion is the entire pictures folder, because it also contains the migrated iPhoto Pictures folders, Lightroom, Adobe and Photo Booth also. After searching for the discussions, it is not clear to me how to do it with pictures.

    Thank you

    Jon

    You can move either; Once completed, launch Photos with the key Option key, click library and choose the one on the external hard drive. ITunes library should be moved in the same way rather than change the setting in the preferences.

  • Using the folder of photos with the photos app

    I have all my photos in the pictures under my user name folder. iTunes also recognizes this organization. How the photos and their organization and imported read in the photo app? It would be nice not having to set up folders and organize again. I've never used iphoto or photos.

    If you import pictures to Photos it will ignore your records and the structure of the library of photo capture date and location data.  All the photos taken on the same day in the same place will be grouped into a 'moment '.  You can create your own folder structure and albums on top of this automatic structure.

  • Try to scroll to see the folder of photos. I scroll down and the scroll bar jump upward.

    I want to display an image file.  When I scroll down and drop the scroll bar of the jumps back to the top.  I can't access all files below a few albums.  Until I have a chance to click on the folder to open it, the bar rises to the top.

    Hello CathiVanderhave,

    Please provide the make and model of your PC. In addition, please relay if the problem occurs when you try to view other files. You also try to perform a clean boot to verify if a background program may interfere. To do this, please see the link below:

  • I moved the folder ITunes from drive C to Drive F and now I can't Itunes to run.

    Drive f, I right-click on the ITunes folder to create a shortcut, but the shortcut only brings back me to the folder, does not run the ITunes program. How can I fix it?

    You create a shortcut to the folder - not in the iTunes program.  You must locate the main executable file to iTunes and make a shortcut to THAT (there probably is one already made in the section of all programs on the start menu you can copy)-then move it to the F drive and it will start iTunes.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • Import photos in photos - copy saved in the folder of Photos?

    Hello yinz,.

    Simple question - when I import a picture and add it to my library, it looks like there is a copy left in my "Photos" folder in addition to have in my library of Photos.  So in my current ' Photos' folder, I have thousands of images, a 13 concert (old) iPhoto library and a library of Photos 12 gig.

    I want to just make sure that I can get rid of everything, but the photo library and more.  They are just copies, correct?  Wanted to make sure I didn't delete anything, I need.

    Thank you!

    As long as you use a 'managed' library all the imported photos are copied to your library and those outside of the library can be deleted to free up space on the hard disk.
